DL421 had a massive delay today - along with most others from the US East Coast, I think weather related.

Departed JFK 0500am, arrived MAN 1630.

 

[Aviador]

Ooch!

 

[Aceshigh]

ALL of the East coast was closed due snow.

 

[Dobbo]

Hmmm. Very strange.

I assumed part of the EWR bump would be due to the shorter IAD season, but that is pushing it!

United comment now transferred to stats thread

Oh dear, it seems to have disappeared from there too

Might worth keeping an eye on the weather Thursday PM in the South East. Forecast is showing snow and some high winds hitting LTN around 16.00 for a couple of hours moving SE taking in LHR, LGW, STN etc. Some flights already cancelled at LHR for Thursday afternoon/evening.
Might end up with nothing but it's best to be prepared I think.

ALL of the East coast was closed due snow.

I did mention other US flights were delayed I am sure.

For info Sat 21/1 EI-FMJ ATR72 STK37BH was a BHX diversion due to fog.
Freezing fog forecast for Monday 23/1 widespread but worse in the South.

But this is showing as well for us

The routing on FR24 shows it didn't even attempt coming to MAN?!

It's the KEF-BRS service. A number of cancellations/diversions at BRS this morning because of fog.

Could be OK for LBA - straight down the runway at that direction.

 

[Aviador]

Gusts to 70 knots is going to cause problems for any airport.

This was posted on the LBA thread where several a/c diverted away due to high winds and wind shear.

"Aer Lingus and Ryanair both inbound from Dublin wanted to divert to Manchester but we're told they wouldn't be accepted unless the declared an emergency"

Has the notam been changed because as was mentioned, the notam recently only showed the A380 and B747-800 passenger a/c not being accepted due taxiway work I believe?
